A House committee has scheduled a five-hour hearing on Thursday to consider two bills dealing with guns.

One of the bills up for consideration would repeal the eight-year-old law that allows the use of deadly force if someone believes his or her life is in jeopardy. HB 4003 is sponsored by Rep. Alan Williams, D-Tallahassee.

It is expected that House Republicans will vote down the bill. House Speaker Will Weatherford agreed to hold a hearing on the "stand your ground" law this summer.

The House committee is also scheduled to take up a separate measure that would allow people who fire warning shots to avoid being charged under Florida's "10-20-Life" sentencing law.

In July, George Zimmerman was acquitted in the second-degree shooting death of Trayvon Martin, although he did not use "stand your ground," the law has been a point of contention.
